The old law men and women have taught and guided their community through both traditional law and contemporary issues. IHHP and NAAJA worked with both old and young people to explore legal themes such as respectful relationships, interacting well with police, domestic violence, resisting peer pressure and joint criminal enterprise.
We were very excited to work with Anton and Sean Simon of the Yatula Yatula Band, and Anton James from the Warnayaka Band, who composed the instrumentation and recorded it live in Lajamanu. We would also like to thank WYDAC (Mt Theo) for their generous support, including providing the recording studio. We would also like to thank the Warnayaka Arts Centre, the Lajamanu School, the Central Desert Shire, the Central Land Council for their kind support.
NAAJA provides legal assistance to Aboriginal people in the Top End. The legal education team has worked with the Kurdiji Law and Justice Group for nearly seven years and meets with them before every court to discuss upcoming matters, including asking elders for offender backgrounds and sentencing suggestions.

Government

The town is a strongly traditional community, and is governed by the Lajamanu Community Government Council as well as a local tribal council. The Lajamanu Council was formed in 1980, and was the first community government council to be formed in the Northern Territory. On cultural matters, the council defers to the local tribal council, because traditional customs are still practised and generally dominate the thinking of the community.

Language

The majority of Lajamanu residents have Warlpiri as their main heritage language. Lajamanu School was a Warlpiri-English bilingual school from 1982 until 2008 when the Northern Government introduced a policy banning Warlpiri language instruction for the first four hours of every school day. This has contributed to a significant drop in attendance at Lajamanu School since 2009. It has been reported that young people now speak Light Warlpiri as a first language. Most official business and education is delivered in English.

This music video features men from the StrongBala Men's Program who wrote, sang, and starred in the productions, which were the result of their creative collaboration on improving health and wellbeing and preventing chronic disease. It was shot around Katherine in Australia'sNorthern Territory.

To begin the process, community members developed customised health messages about healthy lifestyles and keeping culture strong. Along the way, they joined in songwriting workshops and learning about video and music production. The result is an enterta...

10. Worms
One species that seems to fall from the sky a lot is worms. That’s right, pretty icky huh? Around the world there have been many eyewitness accounts of worms plummeting to earth. It’s occurred throughout history and the craziest thing is it has happened during calm weather conditions as well as stormy ones.
9. Flying Foxes
In January of this year, the heatwave in Australia was so severe, it melted Tarmac. Residents of Campbelltown in New South Wales started freaking out as flying foxes, also known as fruit bats, started raining down. Yes bats, falling down on your head.
8. FrogsFrog rain sounds like a weird phenomenon but it isn’t all that strange. There are various recorded cases of it happening and the idea of amphibians falling from the sky is also in the public’s mind from Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie ‘Magnolia’. Even though it sounds crazy, it actually happens!
7. SpidersPeople in Brazil got a shock in 2013 when the sky seemed to fill up with spiders! If you’re an arachnophobe you might want to look away now! This happened in the town of Santo Antonio Da Platina, west of Sao Paulo. While in the Northeast there are tons of blizzards, in Brazil, its raining spiders! Which do you prefer??
6. FishSomething fishy was going on in Australia and by fishy, that’s what I mean. In the town of Lajamanu on the edge of the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory locals had a close encounter of the scaly kind. In 2010 hundreds of fish rained down on them in an incident which left them baffled.
5. BlackbirdsNew Year’s Eve wasn’t such a happy time for people in the town of Beebe in Arkansas. They were surprised by the appearance of 4-5,000 red-winged blackbirds which fell to the ground out of nowhere, turning the place into an avian graveyard. After some investigation it was concluded that the birds had all suffered blunt force trauma!
4. Tadpoles
In 2009 Japan found it was raining tadpoles, as well as fish and frogs. We’ve had both already already so let’s focus on tadpoles. Wow, tadpoles! That really is a crazy thing to fall from the sky, huh? Maybe some of them got so scared they aged prematurely and became frogs before they hit the ground! That makes sense right?
3. Squid
You could call this entry a case of poetic justice! In 1997 a Korean fisherman called Kim Ho was looking for a good catch near the Falkland Islands. You may know the islands from the infamous Falklands Conflict. Well it seems the violence hadn’t quite ended yet, as Kim Ho discovered to his cost.
2. SnakesI’ve mentioned all kinds of creepy-crawlies so far in this video so you know it was only a matter of time before I started talking about snakes! This is a historical case which dates back to 1877 in South Memphis. Thousands of black snakes were reported to have dropped during a rainstorm.
1. AlligatorsIn general, I’ve been referring to groups of animals that have been picked up by the weather and dumped miles from their home. Some of them, like the spiders, do this by choice. But this guy was definitely misplaced by accident.
Origins Explained is the place to be to find all the answers to your questions, from mysterious events and unsolved mysteries to everything there is to know about the world and its amazing animals!

IHHP | NAAJA "One Mob" Lajamanu

In August 2015, IndigenousHip HopProjects (‘IHHP’) teamed up with the North AustralianAboriginalJusticeAgency’s (‘NAAJA’) legal education team to visit Lajamanu for a weeklong intensive workshop to create a Nguchu (‘Good’) legal education music video.
For this project we were fortunate to be guided by the Lajamanu Kurdiji Law and JusticeGroup. The project brings together the old and the new. The old law men and women have taught and guided their community through both traditional law and contemporary issues. IHHP and NAAJA worked with both old and young people to explore legal themes such as respectful relationships, interacting well with police, domestic violence, resisting peer pressure and joint criminal enterprise.
We were very excited to work with Anton and Sean Simon of the Yatula Yatula Band, and Anton James from the Warnayaka Band, who composed the instrumentation and recorded it live in Lajamanu. We would also like to thank WYDAC (Mt Theo) for their generous support, including providing the recording studio. We would also like to thank the Warnayaka Arts Centre, the Lajamanu School, the Central Desert Shire, the Central Land Council for their kind support.
NAAJA provides legal assistance to Aboriginal people in the Top End. The legal education team has worked with the Kurdiji Law and Justice Group for nearly seven years and meets with them before every court to discuss upcoming matters, including asking elders for offender backgrounds and sentencing suggestions.

I made this video with the youth of Lajamanu. Great fun had filming this video and some fantastic skills, excitement, vibrancy and happiness.

Government

The town is a strongly traditional community, and is governed by the Lajamanu Community Government Council as well as a local tribal council. The Lajamanu Council was formed in 1980, and was the first community government council to be formed in the Northern Territory. On cultural matters, the council defers to the local tribal council, because traditional customs are still practised and generally dominate the thinking of the community.

Language

The majority of Lajamanu residents have Warlpiri as their main heritage language. Lajamanu School was a Warlpiri-English bilingual school from 1982 until 2008 when the Northern Government introduced a policy banning Warlpiri language instruction for the first four hours of every school day. This has contributed to a significant drop in attendance at Lajamanu School since 2009. It has been reported that young people now speak Light Warlpiri as a first language. Most official business and education is delivered in English.

According to the Associated Press, civil defense officials said that small fish fell during a light rain in northeastern Mexico last week. The agency posted a photo of the strange event ...Something similar happened in Fairbanks, Alaska, two years ago ...
